Synopsys ARC Development Tools

Synopsys offers a complete suite of development tools to support our comprehensive portfolio of ARC? and ARC-V processors. These tools enable our customers to efficiently build, debug, profile and optimize their embedded software applications for ARC, while the comprehensive set of processor models makes it possible for you to get an early start on software development prior to hardware availability.

Synopsys offers both a premium MetaWare toolkit and a free GNU toolchain for ARC. Developed and supported in-house in close collaboration with the ARC processor core development team, these tools offer early availability and full coverage for all options and extensions offered by the ARC processor architecture and ensure the best quality and support.

The compilation tools leverage decades of compiler expertise and feature industry-leading code density without compromising on performance. They are tested against industry-standard compiler validation suites, as well as an extensive set of internal compiler verification and validation tests.

The comprehensive ARC processor model portfolio offers capabilities including cycle-accurate simulation, fast-timed simulation and high-speed instruction accurate simulation. These models come with extensive SystemC support, including integration in the Synopsys Virtualizer and Platform Architect Ultra virtual prototype solutions.

In addition to the tools offered by Synopsys, there is an extensive and rapidly growing list of 3rd party tools for the ARC processors offered by industry-leading vendors.
